3 Filter Basket Components Filter Housing shall be manufactured of 100% marine grade polyester resin and fiberglass strands. The entire fiberglass structure must be coated with a polyester gel coating with ultra violet inhibitors incorporated into the coating for maximum ultra violet protection. Fiberglass must have a minimum thickness of 3/ Screens shall be manufactured of 304 stainless steel mesh constructed per ASTM E (2004) Handles shall be manufactured entirely of aluminum and be mounted to the filter housing using mounting hardware per section Media Filtration Boom Filter Boom media shall be made up of granulated oil absorbing polymers that have been tested in accordance with section 11.2 of ASTM F Filter media must be proven to absorb 180% of its weight within a 300 second contact time, and at this absorption percentage the physical increase in the size of the granules is not more that 50%. Filter netting shall be 100% polyester with a number 16 sieve size, and strength tested per ASTM D PART 3 PERFORMANCE General Function - The SCBFD has no moving internal components and functions based on gravity flow, unless otherwise specified. The SCBFD is composed of a Shelf System and a Filter Basket. Runoff enters the SCBFD from a curb opening and flows into the Shelf System which is mounted under the face of the curb opening. It then flows horizontally inside the Shelf Systems Trough to the Weir which holds the Filtration Basket. This Shelf System positions the Filtration Basket directly under the catch basin access point (manhole cover, grate or hatch). The Filtration Basket can be removed through the access point without disassembly. The Filtration Basket can also be cleaned without entering the access point by using a vacuum truck. Along the top perimeter of the Filter Basket is a tray containing a Media Filtration Boom. Water flows through and over the filtration boom and downward into the filtration basket. Stormwater enters the inside of the filtration basket and flows downward toward the bottom portion of the basket. Stormwater flow up to the peak treatment flow rate is processed through the filtration screens. These screens provide capture of TSS, sediment, particulate metals, hydrocarbons, nutrients, organics trash and debris. During the heaviest flows the basket fills with water and spills over the top to bypass directly into the bottom of the catch basin, while previously captured debris and solids are contained by a upper screen guard which prevents re-suspension Pollutants - The SCBFD will remove and retain debris, sediments, metals, nutrients, oxygen demanding substances, bacteria and hydrocarbons entering the filter during frequent storm events and specified flow rates. For pollutant removal performance see section Stormwater Catch Basin Filtration Device Page 3 of 6

4 Treatment Flow Rate - The SCBFD operates using gravity flow. The SCBFD treatment flow rate varies by size and is provided on the drawings for each model Bypass Flow Rate The SCBFD is designed to fit within the catch basin in a way not to affect the hydraulics. The area over the top of the Shelf System and Filter Basket is always greater than the curb opening area and/or the area of the outflow pipe. Therefore, the SCBFD does not create a critical point of restriction Pollutant Load The SCBFD must be designed to have minimum storage capacity as documented on the drawing for each particular size and model Performance Protocol and Results All lab testing on filtration media must be performed by an independent third party consultant and testing lab Test Performance At a minimum, the SCBFD shall be tested, according to section , and meet these performance specifications: Filter Pollutant Removal Table REMOVAL POLLUTANT EFFICIENCY TSS-(down to 100 microns) 93% Maintenance Performance Table Maintenance Activity Poor Fair Excellent Ease of Attachment/Reattachment to Drain Ease of Handling and Entry Through Manhole Ease of Cleaning and Filter Media Replacement Prevention of Debris Loss During Removal From Drain Overall Maintenance Turn-Around Time 5 Rating = 15 Minutes or Less Total Score 22 PART 4 - EECUTION General The installation and use of the SCBFD shall conform to all applicable national, state, municipal and local specifications Installation The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, materials and incidentals required to install the (SCBFD) device(s) and appurtenances in accordance with the drawings, installation manual, and these specifications, and be inspected and approved by the local governing agency. Installation contractor should possess a Confined Space Entry Certification Permit, pursuant to OSHA standards.
